Orcas & Humpbacks from Tromso, Norway. November 2025 On this trip we explore the fjords close to Tromso photographing the whales each day and anchor in evening in remote harbours or fjords to hopefully see the northern lights. Last time we had more than 20 whales around us, both Orcas and Humpbacks as they follow the herring into the fjords. This is an incredible experience. Contact me for more details
